I just had the creepiest thought. What if the issues with Igloo are deliberate? Like she doesn’t just have a bad PR, what if they want entitled whites to identify with her and feel victimized by ‘reverse-racism’ and love her even more for ‘standing up’ for herself???

Unless she says so, she was never a man. She was Assigned Male At Birth (AMAB) or Designated Male At Birth (DMAB). Which by the way is the case for intersex people, not only binary transgender people.

I have it and felt like my life was over when the doc told me. But it’s really actually not that bad. I haven’t had more than 2 breakouts in the last 5 years. I’ve never been turned down for sex or relationship when I disclosed. One time I had somebody blab about it to some other immature guys, and one made a stupid…

I hear ‘Nicholas Sparks’ and I know somebody was dead, is going to die, did die, talked about dying, will die together, will be visited by the ghost of Christmas somebody that’s dead, dead dead dead. Nothing is more romantic than death. Duh.

So I have a theory on this one. One of the things the bigots are whining about the most is that good solid Christian businesses are being pushed around by liberal bullies. Nobody orders damn pizza for weddings. I’m wondering if they weren’t already doing bad business and somebody told them/they realized they could…

Hi! Transman with Bipolar here. I have been in treatment for Bipolar for a long time. When I started to talk to my psychiatrist about having gender dysphoria, I needed her to assure me, as she emphatically did, that it was not a delusion and I was indeed quite 'all there'. I have seen both a gender specialist for…

Cadences and songs like this and worse abound in the military. I'll never forget the one male sergeant I had who cheerily turned all the songs around and made everybody sing them as women, about men. Cheers to you over a decade later, sergeant.

I complain all the time that he's smelly and should take showers and change his clothes, then when laundry time comes around I complain that he goes through so many clothes and the laundry is practically all his. He gets mad when I do this.

We got married by proxy, which means we were military overseas, so people stood in for us in Montana. We weren't even at our own wedding. We got good news in an email and the certificate later in the real mail.

It's interesting that when full grown white men in college do something criminal, they're 'kids' but when a black 12 year old is gunned down with a BB gun it's his own fault.

You're welcome :) For me, the best incentive is telling myself that if I damage my ribs, I will have significant difficulties getting a surgeon to give me top surgery... damage to my moobs does not matter to me, but knowing in the long run I could hurt my chances to get rid of the permanently is better motivation to…

Nope we have a friend (albeit she's a butch lesbian) who doesn't want to transition to male at all but she does want top surgery. But nothing else. Happens!

Me too! My parents never asked me why when they caught me.

No it's not safe to sleep in a binder. I just wear very large baseball tees around the house, I'm still not exactly happy to have the sizable moobs flying free; but if you sleep in it, you run the risk of constricted breathing and if you wear them for much more than the recommended 8 hours you run the risk of skin…

Thank you thank you thank you! I've been binding for a while now, with Underworks TriTop. Sometimes it's exhilarating and sometimes, defeating. It's awesome to see an article on binding 'mainstream'. I can't wait to get top surgery and get out of the damn things but I'm grateful to them.

Really appreciate the author for taking the time to address where the article originally went wrong, and Cody for the informative viewpoint. This was a great read.

My husband has allergies and when he gets a fit, I go crazy. He never refills his prescriptions on his own, so when he runs out, he sneezes and sniffles and huffs like uncontrollably. And I feel like a monster because I have zero sympathy. Refill your damn prescriptions. Complete strangers express concern and I'm…

Yay Hillary Duff you totally boosted the confidence of every mom who looks like she actually didn't have a kid or give birth!

What is up with guys? It's always like, we fought and then became best friends forever. Okay so I'm a transguy, but I don't get that part of it.

Oh my gosh I wasn't going to post but I was that kid who was so shy and had no friends and was an easy target. In middle school a group of girls picked me to bully. Everyntime I was in the bathroom, waiting for my mom to pick me up, they were threatening to beat me up. I always either ignored it or kept it cool.…
